Outlook Error: The Delegates Settings Were Not Saved Correctly

An Outlook user may report the following error when they try to modify their Delegates settings.

The Delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient privileges to perform this operation on this object.

This error can occur when the Delegates list contains a mailbox user who no longer exists in the organization. To fix the error remove the non-existent user from the Delegates list before you attempt to add other Delegates or change the Delegates settings.
